Just a note to say that I am back in the chair for Soul People on Solar Radio (website or Sky 0129) for two hours of music and festive fun. This Sunday 10 a.m.

Second hour is a festive special featuring James Brown, Al Green, Womack, The Ebonys, Luther, Solomon Burke, The Emotions, Honey & Bees and a host of others all doing Xmas songs!!! No "roasting chestnuts" drivel all good tucker.

Morning Steve..............ears washed out, throat cleared, singing voice in training, even though it is a "roast your nuts" morning.

One shall enjoy the merry going on's.

Thanks for the above posting Steve..............and playing the best record of the show first along with the topic of the week on SS, Business Before Pleasure on Stang. That's if we exclude the PW thread.LOL.

Once heard the BBP and first time for me - it is clearly Melisa Morgan. Later to be a 80's Capital label pin up.

Just how good does Lonnie Hill CWITG sound years later played in or out of the xmas season and a ex british release too.

Enjoyed that rather nice 80's sounding Searching For Love by Harvest along with the powerful "Voices" by Concrete Wall featuring Will Feaster.

Thanks.
